These Christians actually had to flee Iraq because they would have been killed for their faith. Thousands of Christians have been systematically slaughtered by the Islamic State group after refusing to convert to Islam.

To send them back to Iraq is to condemn them to certain death, but apparently their lives don’t matter to President Obama.

“A group of 27 Iraqi Christians — also known as Chaldeans — has been detained in Otay for about six months as their immigration cases proceed, according to local activists and family members,” The Union-Tribune wrote. “The Chaldeans were detained by immigration authorities after they attempted to cross the U.S. border through the San Ysidro Port of Entry without documentation several months ago.”

It’s nice to know that Obama can deport Christians in less than a year, but can’t see to find the time to deport illegal immigrant rapists.
